Our Vision 32 has a continuous line furler for it's jib manufactured by Hood (also known as the LD, or Line Drive system). Recently, the drum of the furler has started to stiffen up, unfurling the jib has become quite an undertaking...I took apart the drum and suspect the bearings need to be replaced.I popped onto Hood Yacht Systems web site (http://www.pompanette.com) to see if I can locate more information on this particular model of ours (I cannot seem to locate the original manual). Instead, I found out that they sell an "upgrade" for the model to a Single Line system.I can see how this might be an advantage if you were to reef your jib. But for the Hunter Vision 32, since the jib is so small and used primarily for pointing, that advantage is moot in my opinion (am I wrong?).My question is, what are some benefits from moving from a continuous line to a single line system? Will the cost justify the means?Tina & James MarohnPerelandra
